Double Decker Pontoon Party at Devils Cove: BYOB, Captain, and Waterslide

About this experience

What you'll do:

Your party crew will board our oversized double decker party pontoon after meeting your captain at Lake Travis. Pack up some snacks and your favorite bevs—it's BYOB, ya'll! You'll spend 3 to 5 hours (choose from the prices below) cruising along to your own speed as our experienced captain navigates your ATX lake day. Some parties want a quiet swimming hole, some want to party in Devils Cove, just let us know, and have your playlists or requests ready for the 600W speakers, too. It's your party, we're just here to make sure your lake day is perfect!

Why we love it for your party:

  • Party like a rock star (snag all the attention when you pull into the cove with your double decker party)
  • Endless photo ops (will it be matching swimsuits? matching sunnies? matching ridiculously oversized sun hats?)
  • Um, there's a waterslide (or show off your backflip from the upper level)
  • BYOB budget saver (bring your own drinks now and save money for Rainey Street)
  • The great outdoors (two levels of a floating party palace cruising along a beautiful, serene Texas lake)

What's included:

  • Licensed captain to navigate the lake and drive the pontoon
  • Floating lily pad & foam noodles
  • Waterslide
  • Bluetooth speakers (600W)
  • Large cooler chest (for ice; not included)
  • Lounge chairs
  • Cost of fuel
  • Life jackets and first aid kit

I had a fantastic time with Boats & Cove in Austin, TX! The overall atmosphere created by Captain Josh was one of relaxation, adventure, and fun. The boat was in great shape, and the team at Boats & Cove was friendly and accommodating. From the moment we stepped on board until we returned to the dock, every detail was taken care of, allowing us to simply unwind and soak up the beautiful surroundings. If you're looking for a fun-filled adventure on the water, I highly recommend Boats & Cove with Captain Josh at the helm!

We had the best time cruising and swimming for our friends 25th birthday! The boat was clean, beautiful and stocked with a huge float, noodles and a slide! Captain Mike was not only a safe driver but brings the party everywhere he goes. Overall 10/10!!

Boats and Coves was a wonderful experience! We went out for my sisters bachelorette party and had a wonderful time. The boat was so much fun and they had everything to include (cooler, ice, slide and the lily pad). Captain Bree was great and very accommodating to our group. We had some schedule complications and the owner went out of his way to reschedule us and get us on the water. I highly recommend!

Just a 10 out of 10 experience. Had such a great time celebrating my friends birthday. We were unsure if we would be able to go due to the weather but luckily Texas finally showed us some sun and we were off. We were late and knew that we would cut into our time but the captain was so generous that he extended our start time since he did not have any parties after us. After that it was just so chill, fun and peaceful. I will definitely book with them again.

We used Boats & Coves for a bachelorette and they were absolutely wonderful! A great boat with an incredible captain, Chris. They took us to Devil’s Cove and we had a blast. They also were very accommodating and we had no issues. I appreciate the communication and kindness of the owner. Highly recommend!

Literally the absolute best. I’ve done multiple boat services in Austin before, and hands down they are the most kind, helpful, accommodating and best crew. So fun, so kind, and so amazing. 10/10 would recommend.

Josh and Bre were absolutely amazing! My friends and I were on the lake for six hours, and we had the best time. The boat was perfect for my group of 11. Josh was very accommodating to all of our needs and Bre was encouraging us to try new things with her. They took lots of photos for us and even let us teach them some new line dances! I will definitely book with them again. Thanks y’all!

Phenomenal experience with Boats and Coves on Lake Travis for a bachelorette party. They made everything so easy and were so helpful leading up to the boat. The boat itself is so clean and nice. Chris, our captain, was absolutely lovely and took great care of us. If you aren't looking to be in the more highly trafficked areas they will take you to more secluded spots to swim in the lake. I would highly recommend Boats and Coves and would take them out again!

We rented a pontoon for my sister’s Bachelorette weekend. The day was nothing short of amazing. Our Captain Andrew was awesome. He was very attentive, outgoing and made sure that we were well taken care of. I know that my sister and the rest of her Bridal party all had a fantastic time. I highly recommend Boats and Coves for any type of occasion. Thanks so much for everything!

Our group loved this experience because the boat captain was so fun and entertaining- he also made sure our group was docked near other boats so we were able to meet other people out on the water!

Our group had a blast on the party pontoon and it was a highlight of our trip! Our captain was very helpful in communicating where to go to find the boat, then had great recommendations for where to go on the lake! The double decker was perfect, it had lots of seating with shade, a slide from the top deck, a lily pad float, speakers and coolers for our drinks! I would highly recommend it to add a fun day on the water to your Austin Bach Trip!

July 2022 • Bachelorette Party

Our group loved the pontoon boat that took us to Devil’s Cove because you could tell the captain had a good relationship with the other boat captains so we were able to tie up and boat hop to meet other groups and hang out. The cove was so fun, the boat was clean, the vibes were high, and we would definitely book it again if we return.

We loved our double decker pontoon party, it was very easy to coordinate with the captain. The waterslide was so fun and a huge hit. The pontoon was very spacious so we did not feel cramped together. Overall, I would highly recommend this experience. It was easy to coordinate and was the highlight of our trip.

My friends and I had an amazing time on the pontoon! Our captain brought us to an area with other pontoons on lake Travis where we met some amazing people and it just added to the experience! The pontoon offered a giant lily pad that we danced on and sunbathed all afternoon. It was an experience I’ll never forget!

The boat was the highlight of our Austin trip! We were able to play our own music, fill up the cooler, and add an extra hour since we didn’t wanna leave. The drivers were super chill and accommodating. I would absolutely recommend them and repeat this experience :)
